A character driven movie that I can think about is Saving Private Ryan. This movie portrays a group of soldiers sacrificing everything for the greater good. In the movie, U.S. army soldiers commanded by Tom Hanks, this squad of soldier’s objective was to look for a soldier that all 3 of his brothers were killed. Many of the men sacrificed their lives to locate this man. Eventually they found him after many longs days of pain and suffering.
The movie begins with a scene from D-day, the landing at Omaha beach. The determination to capture the beach was portrayed by many quick decisions and hard work. There was a scene in this part where they were pinned down by mortar and machine gun fire. His decision was to put his sniper in a location to put fire on nest and take down the obstacle. His quick decision to distract the fire by standing out in the open to draw fire so his sniper could relocate to a different location. This I believe was a huge decision and was very brave. Tom Hanks character in the movie Saving Private Ryan is driven to get his objective done. This movie follows the squad through France to find Ryan. Once they found him, the squad was extremely determined to keep private Ryan alive mostly by sacrificing was is most important, their lives. I would agree with the four stars given to the film and would HIGHLY recommend purchasing this amazing movie.
